research Hairless and Wnt Signaling: Allies in Epithelial Stem Cell Differentiation
The HR protein's role as a repressor is essential for controlling hair growth.
research Hairless is a nuclear receptor corepressor essential for skin function
Hairless protein is crucial for healthy skin and hair, and its malfunction can cause hair loss.
research Hairless Modulates Ligand-Dependent Activation of the Vitamin D Receptor-Retinoid X Receptor Heterodimer
Hairless protein can both repress and activate vitamin D receptor functions, affecting gene regulation.
research Ligand‐independent Regulation of the hairless Promoter by Vitamin D Receptor†
Vitamin D receptor can control the hairless gene linked to hair loss even without vitamin D.
research Disease causing homozygous variants in the human hairless gene
New and known mutations in the hairless gene cause a hair loss condition called Atrichia with papular lesions.
research Commentary on: Hairless and the polyamine putrescine form a negative regulatory loop in the epidermis
The commentary explains that a balance of HR protein and putrescine is important for normal hair growth.
research Identification of a recurrent nonsense mutation in HR gene responsible for atrichia with papular lesions in two Kashmiri families
A mutation in the HR gene causes a rare form of irreversible hair loss in two Kashmiri families. Whole exome sequencing is effective for finding such mutations.
research Hairless-knockout piglets generated using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat/CRISPR-associated-9 exhibit abnormalities in the skin and thymus
Pigs without the Hairless gene showed skin and thymus changes, useful for studying human hair disorders.
research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Vitamin D and the skin: Physiology and pathophysiology
Vitamin D and its receptor regulate skin functions like cell growth, immunity, hair cycle, and tumor prevention.
research A new look into an old problem: keratins as tools to investigate determination, morphogenesis, and differentiation in skin.
Keratin expression reflects cell organization and differentiation, not causes it.
research Hairless triggers reactivation of hair growth by promoting Wnt signaling
The HR protein helps hair grow by blocking a hair growth inhibitor, aiding in hair follicle regeneration.
research Biology and Genetics of Hair
The document concludes that understanding the genes and pathways involved in hair growth is crucial for developing treatments for hair diseases.
research Characterization of hairless (Hr) and FGF5genes provides insights into the molecular basis of hair loss in cetaceans
Cetaceans lost hair due to changes in the Hr and FGF5 genes.
research MOUSE MODELS FOR THE STUDY OF HUMAN HAIR LOSS
Mice are useful for researching human hair loss and testing treatments, despite some differences between species.
research A distinct gene close to the hairless locus on chromosome 8p underlies hereditary Marie Unna type hypotrichosis in a German family
A different gene near the hairless gene on chromosome 8p21 causes a rare hair loss condition in a German family.
research Unveiling the Roots of Monogenic Genodermatoses: Genotrichoses as a Paradigm
New gene identification techniques have improved the understanding and classification of inherited hair disorders.
research 3-Deoxysappanchalcone Promotes Proliferation of Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells and Hair Growth in C57BL/6 Mice by Modulating WNT/β-Catenin and STAT Signaling
3-Deoxysappanchalcone helps human hair cells grow and stimulates hair growth in mice by affecting certain cell signaling pathways.
research A novel mutation in Hr causes abnormal hair follicle morphogenesis in hairpoor mouse, an animal model for Marie Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis
A new mutation in the Hr gene causes hair loss in mice, similar to a human hair disorder.
research Kyoto Rhino Rats Derived by ENU Mutagenesis Undergo Congenital Hair Loss and Exhibit Focal Glomerulosclerosis
A new rat strain with a specific gene mutation causes hair loss and kidney issues.
research Alopecia: Association with Resistance to Thyroid Hormones
A specific thyroid hormone resistance mutation may be linked to different types of hair loss.
research Hairless controls hair fate decision via Wnt/β–catenin signaling
The Hairless gene is crucial for hair cell development, affecting whether skin cells become hair or skin and oil gland cells.
research Differential activity of 2-methylene-19-nor vitamin D analogs on growth factor gene expression in rhino mouse skin and comparison to all-trans retinoic acid
Some vitamin D analogs can thicken skin and reduce pore size like a common acne treatment, with one analog also affecting skin growth factors.
research Gene Expression of Osteopontin in Alopecia Areata? A Case-Controlled Study
People with alopecia areata have higher levels of osteopontin, which might be important in the disease's development, but this doesn't relate to how severe the disease is.
research Functional mapping of the mouse hairless gene promoter region
Researchers found key regions in the mouse hairless gene that control its activity in skin and brain cells, affecting hair follicle function.
research Dietary glucoraphanin prevents the onset of psychosis in the adult offspring after maternal immune activation
Eating glucoraphanin can help prevent psychosis in offspring whose mothers had immune system activation.
research The hair growth promoting effect of Sophora flavescens extract and its molecular regulation
